Montauk,s Troubles.

NEW YORK, May 18.-For about the tenth
time in two years the case Of the Montauk
association, Knights Of Labor, of Brooklyn,
In its struggle for separate existence from
District Assembly 40, Of this city, was re-
hearSed last night and the conclusion was
the same as on all former occasions
7. B. Barry and T. B. Mcguire were ap-
pointed a special committee Of the general
executive board to make the investigation,
and they met committees from the Brooklyn
association and 40 in Pythagoras hall last
night. The two sides Of the controversy were
ably represented, but the result was appar.
emily a foregone conclusion. 1t was reported
after the meeting that the Montauks would
not get a charter and as the local assemble
comprising the association have been sus-
pended, and are not, therefore, considered
members Of the order, it remains for them to
declare what they will do now.
It Is said that Mr.. Mcclure asked ths
BrooklyniteS, among other questions,
whether they would return to the fold Of 4a.
They said they would not, neither would
they pay up their dues to that assembly. 10
was stated that they had performed all tho
duties of knighthood, and had done nothing
TO forfeit their membership. They desired
only home rule, and If they did not have
that they would get along outside the order.
Their field was Brooklyn and Long Island,
which was large enough for them, and there
was plenty Of work to do there. They were
determined to do their best for labor, and
Should exist regardless of the order.

PEORIA, ILL.,, May lS.-The leading counsel
for ]. Finley Hoke, the alleged embezzling
bookkeeper for the Merchants bank, Hon.
Leonard Swett, Of Chicago, has reached here
and the prisoner was brought into court
The greater portion of the day was consumed
in argument pro and con on a motion to file
special pleas in answer to the Indictment in
stead of the general answer of not guilty.
The court finally allowed special pleas to be
filed, but did not allow the plea of not guilty
to be withdrawn, and assigned Tuesday Of
next week as the day for the hearing on the
charge of forgery, on which Hoke was ex-
tradited. Hoke has regular army Of coun-
sci, and the legal fight will be an interesting
one. The jurisdiction of the court to try
Hoke for other than the charge on which he
was extradited will be the first question
raised by the defense.

THE MURDER OF T. r. M'NAlR.
The Widow Relates the Awful Story Of
the Assassination.

JACKSON, Ca, May 18.-MPs. McNair,
wife Of the man who was assassinated In
Worthwhile, reached this place yesterday,
and gives a graphic description of the trag.
edy. Mr.. T. F. McNair had incurred the
hatred Of the community because of the kill
Ing Of a man named Hardy. He had been
tried for the offense and acquitted. AS the
people believed it to be case of murder,
they freely denounced McNair's acquittal,
and he was the recipient of frequent notices
Of warning, in which assassination was
limited at For some months, however, there
bad been a cessation of the notices, and Nc
Nair and his wife began to forget them. A
little aftFr midnight on Saturday morning q
voice as of some one in trouble aroused the
couple When McNair inquired the matter
the man on the outside answered that his
buggy had broken down and that he could
not see to mend it without a light. McNair
Lit his lamp AMI started out with it when tn o
report Of two guns was heard and the victim
fell dead
One of the men then walked up close to
the body and fired from a pistol two shots
more When Mrs McNair attempted to
come out dozen shots against the front Of
the house warned her not to venture out
The assassins retreated from the house.
They kept up the fusilade, making their es-
cape before the woman could venture out.
By the dawning light Of day she examined
the body of her dead husband, thirteen
buckshot being found in his neck alone. The
tracks of the assassins were followed to an
adjoining swamp, where they were lost.
There is no doubt but that the assassins
were friends of the murdered man, Hardy.

reply, said that the government had deter
mined to encourage the making Of this class
Of iron equally with pig iron
The nail and horseshoe manufacturers
claimed that their protection had practically
disappeared under the tariff changes. Mr..
Tupper said that if they could show the pro-

meet their views. The iron importers asked
that existing contracts be exempted from
the operations of the tariff. Mr.. Tupper
thought that request reasonable, and will
propose in the house alterations to meet the
importers views.

concerned, Corean territory shall remain
neutral, both powers being of course inter-
ested in keeping others therefrom.
